Modern video games are less "interactive entertainment" and more "unpaid internships".
You boot up a new title and suddenly you're harvesting digital turnips, micromanaging a medieval tax system, and crafting 37 different types of leather boots just to unlock the privilege of being mildly entertained for 15 minutes.
@fribbledom you should try Baldur's Gate 3. I'm 90h in on my first play through and still not finished!
It’s a fantastic RPG in the Dungeons & Dragons world, full of fun and quirkiness with an engaging story and tons of fun side quests and secrets to discover.
@fribbledom But that's the good stuff. Having your own home, no taxes, you can grow your own food, make your own clothes and tools.
"I want flat boards." <makes a lathe>
is more awesome than
"The Dark Lord said what this time? Uuugh."
Sometimes you have to fight off monsters and Republicans, but, small price to pay.
Perquisition.
Do the right things to get the things, to get the perquisites to which one is entitled.
Hah, micromanaging medieval tax systems got you all excited?
I'm afraid it wasn't aimed at anything specific, but any recent Ubisoft game should prove my point.
@fribbledom
> micromanaging medieval tax syarems got you excited?
nah, if I wanted that I'd play Paradox games
> any recent Ubisoft game
They make you vollect turnips in Assassin's Creed Shadows? Damn, I knew their quality was dropping but I didn't expect the series to fall so low
@fribbledom *looks at my time played for Rimworld, Stardew Valley, civilization, Stellaris.*
Isn’t that the fun part?
